The lye concentration used to make soap is rather nasty if it gets on your skin and you don’t deal with it immediately. Source: I’ve made a lot of soap from scratch.

It royally fucked up Asheville NC where the Federal Climate Center is

Traumatized my eldest, youngest enjoyed the absurdity immensely

Akshually… That trash wood turned into pellets would otherwise rot, which releases CO2, but also methane. And methane is considered a far more powerful greenhouse gas.

So the net is in our favor.

Standing dead forests should be made into charcoal and plowed into food fields, which is very stable stuff and the biogas used instead of natural gas in my opinion.

I ignore a whole lot of shit.

1 email address, but I may need more at some point

Took 3 tries to read this top to bottom in one go tbh

Again? I have a lovely quilt made by my great grandmother out of sack cloth.

Thanks for pointing that out so I didn’t have to.

What’s the alternative? Waterfail?

Yeah because business requirements and technology is changing at an ever slower rate…

My ICQ ID was a rather low number…

No one, it just makes sense.

You must be one of those “Throw your mother downstairs, the box of tissues” types.

Yoda sounded normal to you I bet.

And the result was… Finish the rest

Por que no los dos? Tengo los dos.

Some things are ridiculously easy to grow in some places and we should for exactly that reason. It’s like drinking bottled water when you have an amazing spring in your backyard of great tasting clean water.

Haha no.

The fruit will not travel.

Some produce has to be enjoyed immediately or preserved immediately.

If you mean at the farm where it came from then sometimes.Youd have know when it was picked.

The best sweet corn is heated, not cooked, within minutes of picking at peak quality.

Sometimes. You cannot go to a store and buy the freshest, most mouth watering and delicious fruits because they cannot handle being shipped even locally.

A warm, juicy peach right off the tree is an amazing experience.

Also, you know 100% of what what was and what wasn’t done to your stuff.

That said, I don’t have the time or will to grow all my own veggies that I like daily.

I can, however make enough other stuff that’s saleable so I can afford fresh veg year round.

This is no joke.

2 kids were killed in Forest Grove, Oregon hiding in a leaf pile on the edge of the road to surprise dad when Dad came back outside but instead were run over by teens deciding to drive the the leaf piles…

Tragic AF

A lot but the problem is not that, it’s keeping it limited to 8km

Really? I find them using a map app

It’s how water feels sweetums

Uh gee, for starters don’t go around broadcasting that you’re not home. Watching your stuff. Do you want property theft? Because that’s how you get property theft! You can brag and selectively post all the highlights and none of the lowlights when you’re back if you think that you need that to feel better about yourself.
